So....I moved into a new house last year and unbeknownst to me, the end of my street is one of those neighborhoods that becomes a spectacle come Christmas. There are a group of houses that cover every square inch of the house, roof, fence and lawn with lights, full size figurines, inflatable Santa's and Frosty's, whirling thingees...you name it. Think the Grizwold house in Christmas Vacation...and I am not exagerating. I cannot drive down that end of the street because traffic gets clogged at night from spectators.

Luckily, my end of the street is the more conservative folks who just put out a few things here and there, most are not even lit up. My personal taste is a few white lights here and there. I do not go in for big garish displays. I get a huge kick out of the big garish displays but would never do something like that to my house. Just curious what other people think.
